relating to her Majestys widespread charities,

The petitioners urge that the rising German

the necessity of perfecting themselves both in
writing and reading Roman and German script,
that prominent linguists, more especially Jacob
Grimm, have pronounced the socalled German
script to be unsghtly Disagreement OF the
pure and noble forms of the Latin script. which
may be considered the original and national Ger

the express purpose of abolshing the twofold
system of characters, and AT present counts

increasing; that the aim OF the society has the
sanction of the official school boards as well

The birds are heralds of his cause,

An earth-born star of the night;
And the face by the rose bound easement
Is lit with saddened light.
And To- as a mystery of ED.
A form, familiar and fair,
Parts the meadowmists on the mead.
And follows the perfumed air
To the face by the rose bound easement.
And the watcher who watches there.
And the man and the maid who parted.
Nor met when the battle was DER,
Commune in the sacred silence,
Repledging the vows of yore.
Whose bond shall be bound forever,
Where war leaveth no heart sore.

Whose sturdy heart
Leapt high in wars deep menacing;
Who, as his part,
Gave love, and life, and all things sweet
Lest one pure star
Be torn from out his country's flag
Whose loss would mar
That banner--fairest ever fur.ed.

When fainting. blind in death, they fell.
